Hi,

I've just received an email from the BBC Archive project and noticed that all the email links are using Tinyurl.

Now i would argue that the BBC shouldn't be using this type of service in emails, mainly as it contradicts the advice i give friends regarding following URLs in emails that do not appear associated with the sender (for example only follow links to bbc.co.uk in emails from the beeb)

Tinyurl is a great service and i can understand why it is used, but i feel that using this type of service in a wider audience is a bad idea.

What does everyone else think.

Adam
